Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos told Martha MacCallum on "The Story" that it increasingly evident he was "set up" through a series of foreign meetings in order to create a pretext for a U.S. probe into alleged Russian collusion.

Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in prison in connection to the Mueller probe, but also posted a cryptic tweet reading "there is a lot to come."

If I am going to be under scrutiny for contacts with a Maltese prof, the fake niece of Putin, and a Russian think tank analyst, then I definitly should also be for my numerous interactions with western intel and diplomats, right?

Papadopoulos had met abroad with Joseph Mifsud, a shadowy professor from Malta, who told him the Russians had thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails.

He said that he was later "lured" to a meeting in London with Australian diplomatic official Alexander Downer.

An Israeli diplomat named Christian cantor, who hated Trump, introduced me to his 'girlfriend' who just happened to be an Australian intel officer and assistant to Downer. Named Erika Thompson. After I humiliate David Cameron in the British press, Downer wants to meet.

Trace Gallagher reported that Papadopoulos told Downer the Russians may have compromising information on Clinton.

Papadopoulos told MacCallum that in hindsight, the meetings with officials prior to Downer seem "incredibly suspicious."

He said the meeting with Downer at a bar seemed "completely controlled" and that it was not a simple offer by the Aussie for the American to "invite me for a drink."

All these nations are so-called "allies" which work directly with US intelligence. All the evidence points to them conspiring with US intelligence to set up and spy on candidate Trump and his campaign.

Papadopoulos laid out more on Twitter:

The BRITISH (Stefan Halper), AUSTRALIAN (Alexander Downer and Erika Thompson) and TURKISH (Azra Turk, spy working for Halper) all spied on an American citizen and campaign. Obama, Brennan and Clapper knew.

Australian oil company, woodside, was actively competing with American oil companies trying to do business in Israel and Cyprus. I was advising American companies at the time. No wonder Downer wanted to talk oil in London and then began recording me with his phone. Set up.

The deep state criminals infesting out intelligence agencies are already in panic mode as Devin Nunes and Tom Fitton laid out Wednesday on Fox News.

As Nunes said in July, Republicans need to show up in the midterms to keep these investigations going because if Democrats take over the House in November, "they're going to drop all of this investigation."

"They would love to see Republicans lose. I hate to say that, but I have to believe that the Department of Justice and FBI, the people at leadership, they are banking on a loss by the Republicans in the fall," Nunes said.
